TEAR DROP 1 PIN OWNERS MANUAL
ROUTING
The stevensons lanyard should be connected to the 3-ring cover by the Velcro
attachment as shown in FIGURE #1. This should be done when the reserve ripcord is
passed through the bottom of the lanyard, through the stainless steel '0' grommet. The
reserve ripcord is then passed through the reserve ripcord housing which is velcroed
down to the front lift web of the harness, by the chest strap. When the reserve has been
packed, you then attach the main risers to the 3-ring release. At this point you need to
attach the lanyard to the main risers. Ensure that the fixed bail snap shackle is attached
to the small ring on the risers and that it works smoothly and correctly.
WORKING
When the cutaway procedure is activated the main risers separate from the harness
which then invokes the lanyard, as the risers go away from the harness it puts pressure
on the ripcord cable and this then pulls the reserve ripcord pin. The reserve ripcord
handle stays in the reserve ripcord pocket at all times, this allows the jumper to
continue the cutaway and reserve pull procedure.
